No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

And that'd be great if all those who don't like the LFG for valid reasons actually offered up constructive feedback of how the service could be done better. Sadly they don't.

46 for me. We are able to alter how many posts per page are displayed in our account settings.

It's also impractical.

When an IT department begins the process of deciding how to best solve a problem they typically try to find the solution that meets the needs of the system with the least amount of changes.

Converting a multi-realm MMO into a single-realm MMO would have so many high risk technical problems that could end up tanking the whole game that it just wouldn't be practical to try and make that kind of change.

This is the kind of change that is best done in a sequel or an unreleased game. The risk of data corruption and data loss and server instability is far too great for this type of change to be implemented in a game that is already launched and live on the servers.

Why would this be the case. You're not converting anything. Look at it from the direction of how cross server warzones/flashpoints work. You hop on over to the server handling the warzone/flashpoint right? Your character still belongs to server X or Server Y yet for as long as you decide to stay inside that warzone/flashpoint you are interacting and chatting with players from different servers.

Now onto the single, or group of (if you want to do it on a smaller scale first) virtual servers. Your character still resides on server X or Y, however you can chat with anyone within the virtual server pooled from multiple servers. When you go to the planet of Alderaan or chill on fleet each individual server would act as a shard of the the zone just as the game would shard the zone if too many players are in the zone. So by switching shards you're switching servers as you would for a cross server warzone/flashpoint.

The biggest hurdle as I said before would be GTN and future guild banks because in a system like what I described why limit guilds to a single server.

To all those against x server groups I understand you are resistant to change and it may be that on your server you're a grand time and well I'm happy for you I honestly am. However on my server I can't access all the content because usually there might be 18 on a planet in peak times and then 4 at slow times. How can you play like that?

As a sociologist, communities grow to meet the needs of the community and change always occurs in life whether we like it or not. Lets give X server groups a chance it can't destroy the community as much as not able to play does.

So is it better for me to spent 2 - 4 h sitting on the imperial fleet and pressing ctrl+ v which copy LFG. That's so boring!!!! I don't mind rude ppl as long as I can play the game instead just Sittin around and beein bored besides this won't affect u ,u got gr8 guild just do fp with them no one forcing u to usile this tool. i dont understand it why ppl are so against it u don't like it dont use it no one forcin u but for majority ppl it will allow them to actually enjoy the game instead just lookin at a screen where nothin happening!!!!

no cross realm lfg tool, because spamming in chat and waiting hrs and hrs for a grp is the way mmo's are supposed to be played... thats where the real social stuff begins and ... right?
.... according to us selfish elitist j3rks anyway

no lfg tool, because my style of play is the only real way and I know that my opinion on how groups should come together and how socializing in this game should occur is the only valid one.

/youknowwhat-asm off

If the reasons people are giving for NOT having LFG tool is it will destroy the community, then I hope it does destroy the community. The community is rude and obnoxious as it is and I'd love to see it gone. The kind of community that runs up and steals nodes or boxes while you are standing on top of the node or box fighting a mob so you can loot the node or box. I want that community dead. If LFG will kill that community, then so be it.

And standing in fleet saying "LF2M Athiss" for hours makes a wonderful game?

Please. Rude, impatient people existed in WoW long before the LFG tool was created. As did ninjas. And in fact, the LFG tool actually cut-down on ninjas, because along with the tool they changed how loot was awarded so you could only roll on loot your class could actually equip. The crying about ninjas is such a red herring, because you can easily fix any problems by tightening up the rolling requirements (i.e, don't allow Jedi Knights to roll "need" on cunning gear, don't let people roll on gear outside their armor class or weapons they can't equip).

You know what else LFG brought to WoW?

- People actually doing instances while leveling!

My point is if ppl who want to have community have one and others who just want to play and enjoy their game without standing in imperial fleet for two h let them too by implmenting x-lfg tool it doesn't affect ppl who don't want to use it so why u so agaimst it???
